Nellie's Story...

Nellie's Story...

Nellie was surrendered when her owner moved and did not take Nellie along. She is a sweet, calm girl who looks to be a lab mix and weighs 51 lbs. She is around 6-7 years old and up to date on vaccines and spayed. Nellie has completed treatment for heartworms. Nellie would adore living out her golden years with a caring family. She is great with kids and is housebroken. Nellie does not get along with other dogs or cats, so she does need to be an only pet. Can you make her dreams come true? Her adoption fee is only $10.

Unless otherwise stated, the adoption fee for dogs over 4 months is $120.00. Puppies under 4 months are $140.00 The adoption fee includes the animal's surgery, microchip, vaccinations, flea preventative, deworming medication, sample bag of food/treat samples and a free first exam with participating veterinarians. Shelter policy is that all animals must be spayed or neutered prior to leaving the shelter.

Our shelter is open to the public on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm and other times by appointment. If you would like to make an appointment to meet one of our many adoptable animals, please send an email to us at pvchs@joink.com. To apply to adopt, you may download an adoption application from the Applications and Fees tab on our website. The web address is www.pvchs.cfsites.org. Please email the completed application to pvchs@joink.com.
